The 2020 pre-season is just around the corner so while we don't have ALL the pieces of the puzzle in place, here is some info to get you started.
1. Let's get you registered!
Your early registrations help us settle on the number of teams in each age group. It also ensures we can properly cap the number in your team, if required. First, apply for your active kids voucher for $100 off the cost of your rego fees.
Then, head to the website and register online. Cannons register with their home club of either Drummoyne Power or Concord Giants and automatically become Cannons. New players can register with either club.
Pre-season training: Thursday 6 February.
Our coaching coordinator Mike Andrews will be in touch with coaches soon re specific times. At this stage, oval availability for February is only confirmed on Thursday for St Lukes. Other training days will be confirmed as soon as they open up.
Pre-season scratch matches: Sunday 22 March & 29 March
The now traditional pre-season scratch matches against Kellyville-Rouse Hill and Emu Plains. Times and teams to be confirmed. Priority will be given to teams with full registration numbers, so get registering.
Round 1: Sunday 6 April
Round 1 on 6 April will be followed by a bye for Easter and school holidays.
3. Parent volunteers
We're a volunteer-run Club. All families are required to volunteer some time in order to ensure that our kids can take the field. If you are able to volunteer for a coach or manager role, please ensure you've lodged an expression of interest.
While most games will have official first aid, each team should have at least one person, qualified as a first aid officer and ERC. If you have the relevant qualifications, please let us know. If you'd like to take up the opportunity for training in this area, again, please let us know.
The Season 2019 Year Book is now available. You can view the year book online for free. (Click the cover image to go through to the online version.)
